Honda Dual Sport reviews

its very heavy ill admit but it was keeping up with my buddy's tesla which for a motorcycle that heavy is very impressive. it picks up really quickly and shifting is just right. no unexpected short or long gears. I wish is had more gears as it only goes up to five which you can ride 5 from 40mph to 120mph. an extra gear would be nice but oh well. I put an engine guard on it because if that thing tips you're not stopping it unless you use all your strength. She's fat. It's been an amazing experience to work on and bring it from just an engine in a frame to where it is today. maintenance is super easy unless you are dealing with the carburetors. any inline 4 engine is a pain to take carbs out of.

The smoothest power delivery you will find on a 1k CC bike. Great engine breaking for smooth corners, and great power delivery on exit. It offers a smaller chasis which is suitable for shorter riders making this bike perfect for anyone. Show less

Starts today like it did 20 years ago. Comfort is based off age and height. If youre buying a supersport for the comfort, youre doing it wrong. Home maintenance is easy for any weekend warriro. Only part that failed was the kill switch! Show less

The ST-1100 is one of the earlier sport touring bikes made from the factory. It is designed for riding long distances. It has a big enough engine to run all day at 80 mph. It has a four cylinder V4. It has a 7.5 gallon gas tank. You will get 60 miles to the gallon. This model was used by many individuals for obtaining their iron butt certificate. It is also light enough to cruise the back roads at 50 mph and enjoying the country. You will not be disappointed with this bike. Show less

2015 is the 'Last Call' year for the Honda VFR Interceptor. Many years of refinement with a bullet proof 800cc V-4 Vitech engine. This Sports Bike does everything well, from regular pump gas to the wine of its Vitech enhancement. After 10 years of ownership, this bike never let me down or disappointed. Show less

What I like about this motorcycle is it's versatility, being able to tackle any type of environment (with the right wheels), from the concrete jungles of the cities to off-road trails. It has just enough power to put a smile at your face with 471cc and it's claimed 48hp, while maintaining a top notch build quality-to-price ratio. It is very well balanced in terms of weight and handleability. What I didn't like so much was it's comfort, with me being in the taller side (5'10") I didn't find the standard ergonomics to be very comfortable and that's why I had to add a handlebar raiser. I would definitely recommend this motorcycle to anyone that's looking for a "Jack of all trades" that can cover every feature with ease and more for the price. This was my first motorcycle as a new rider and I used it for my daily commutes and a couple of short adventures. Show less

The bike is a 1000cc bike so it is very fun to use. the power is thrilling, the looks of the bike are awesome. the sound the bike makes is also very nice. its a sport bike so obviously its going to get a little uncomfortable if you ride for long periods of time but riding down to Miami a few times from west palm and its decent. No complaints. if you ever need to get out of a close call situation, the bike has enough torque and agility to get you out of it pretty quickly. i had a Ninja 650 before and this is just a completely different beast. you'll definitely have fun with it.

Out of 19 motorcycles I've owned, the 2005 VTR1000 (also known as the Honda Superhawk 996) is the lightest, thinest, most powerful, best-handling, canyon carver I've ever ridden. I'm 6' 0", 185 lbs. For me, the forward-leaning riding position, with a Corbin seat is extremely comfortable. The stock front forks and a Olin rear shock work perfectly with all road conditions. It soaks up bumps like they are not there. The engine is used as part of the frame which makes the whole chassis very ridged so hard cornering is effortless, and fun. I've never ridden a bike that handles better than this Superhawk 996. The engine has so much torque that you can stay in fourth gear from 40 to 120 mph in the canyons with it red lining about 9,500 RPM. You can easily change the exhaust from low and slightly tilted up to high and exiting next to the license plate like the VTR race bikes. The unique radiator setup, one on each side of the bike, keep the engine temperature between 175 and 220 degrees, and keep the bike very thin and easily maneuverable. The gas tank is thin and small and only holds about 5 gallons so the refill interval is about 100 miles, not good for touring but just fine for short trips blasting through your favorite canyon.

You are going to absolutely LOVE THIS BIKE no matter where you ride - by the ocean, under the canopy lined streets, the highway or around town! I used to own this same motorcycle in 1980 and liked it so much, I bought another one. Very well made, reliable, inexpensive for the shop to do the yearly maintenance. It is big enough for the highway and yet sill maneuverable in the parking lot. This is the perfect size. I used to put my g/f on the back and ride all over and she was comfortable too. I n 1985, I bought a Honda 650 Nighthawk and it was too little and too light for the highway. I will miss it but I do not ride anymore though I do start it up every week and listen to it purr. It has comfortable seats and only 9500 miles. The shop went over everything last year and did whatever it needed. Put on new tires, new battery, new plugs, etc. I wanted it to be in tip top shape. Maybe I put on 100 - 150 miles since then. You will love it too. It shines and I get compliments on it, just like you will and it will make you SMILE! Show less
